Configuring a JRXML reporting tool - 6.3

You can open a JRXML reporting tool directly from the studio. You can then use this
reporting tool to edit/personalize the JRXML templates you have. Two ways are available
to configure a reporting tool:

How to set a path to a reporting tool

You can configure a JRXML tool (usually iReport) in the studio to be able to open
any of the listed templates in the reporting tool and edit/personalize it according
to your needs. To do that, do the following:

Prerequisite(s): You have selected the Profiling perspective in the studio. You have already
downloaded a reporting tool.

Warning

Make sure to download an iReport version compatible with
the version of the data quality Studio you are using. For further
information on iReport compatible versions, see Using JRXML templates in the studio.

On the menu bar, click Help and select
Configure reporting tool to open the
report tool wizard.

Click Browse and set the path to the
reporting tool you have already downloaded.

Note

Browse to an executable file in the reporting tool folder. The listed
executable files depend on your operating system (.exe, .bat, .sh or
ireport).

Click Finish to close the dialog box.

A confirmation message is displayed.

Click OK to close the message.

In the DQ Repository tree view, expand
Libraries > JRXML Template and
double-click any of the listed templates. The template will open directly in
the reporting tool.

Do all necessary changes and save your template.

The template is updated in the studio.

How to associate an editor with JRXML templates

Another way to access a reporting tool from the data quality Studio is to
associate an editor of your choice for the JRXML files (usually iReport). You can
then edit/personalize the template according to your needs. To do that, do the
following:

Prerequisite(s): You have selected the Profiling perspective in the studio. You have already
downloaded the reporting tool.

Warning

Make sure to download an iReport version compatible with
the version of the data quality Studio you are using. For further
information on iReport compatible versions, see Using JRXML templates in the studio.
